Sažetak
Diode lasers have a diversity of applications in the medical field. Small and compact, they can be „stacked“ to produce considerable output powers. The active material is a semi- conducting crystal, usually gallium arsenide (GaAs) or similar compounds. The precise wavelenght depends upon the material used in the semiconductor layers. The beam from the diode laser is usually more divergent than that of the other lasers, requiring additional optics to produce a collimated output beam. Beams can be in continuous wave or pulsed. The advantage of diode systems is their compactness, high efficiency and reliability. Some lasers devices use low power visible diode lasers in place of helium-neon (HeNe) lasers for aiming beams.
